Chapter One: Warm Welcoming
"You know we really need to get you a boyfriend." Rosalie stated as she played with my hair, I glanced up at her and gave her a pointed look. I was sprawled out on the Cullen couch, my head was propped up on a pillow on Rose's lap and my legs rested on Alice's knee's at the end of the couch where she was painting my toe nails at a slow human pace. The boys, Emmett and Jasper, were sitting cross legged on the floor engrossed into one of their video games. Carlisle was still at work and Esme was preparing me some lovely dinner which I insisted on helping with, but she refused. I smiled to myself, I loved this family with all my heart, even if they were non-living, and fed off the blood of animals.
"Helloo? Earth to Bella?" Rose said, while snapping her perfectly manicured nails in front of my face.
I came into focus again.
"Sorry, and well yeah if you could find me a decent one that lives in the small ass town." I huffed and folded my arms "I mean there are those boys from La Push, but you guys have some weird treaty with them, which would make things a bit awkward."
"Why don't you just date Mike Newton?" Alice chimed in "He's been after you for years, and he's nice enough, cute too."
I rolled my eyes and made a gagging face "Hell no."I said immediately, then smirked "Hey Jasper, you hear that? Your woman thinks Mike Newton's attractive."
Alice gasped and covered a hand over her mouth, even though he clearly heard it, any human could have. That's what I loved about this family,my family was that they acted to human around me, they helped me fit into their world. I had been through so much with them, I couldn't even tell you how my life would be like if i had never meet them. I moved here when i was a sophomore, the same year the moved here. Most of the attention went to them though because how attractive they were. I mean I considered myself pretty good looking but they blew me out of the water by far. Once everyone found out they kept to themselves, everyone swarmed around me. I made a few friends but not to many i actually liked. I was curious about the Cullen's, I also had every class with at least one of them. I wasn't afraid to talk to them, Alice and Emmett were the easiest to talk to by far, they're personalities were more out going than Jasper's and Rosalie's. However it took a while until Alice and Emmett warmed up to me, obviously they were wary of me because I was human. Jasper was the next one who I befriended, his polite southern ways and darker humor clashed well with my personality.
Now Rosalie, she was a whole different story entirely. She loathed me, never speaking a word to me at lunch or when I was invited over their house. I couldn't be bothered with her, if she hated me i would let her hate. Then one day at lunch she had 'accidentally' tripped and all her tray off food fell onto me. That's when i flipped out on her, right in front of everyone in the cafeteria. I remember it like it was yesterday:
I stared in shock as the tray of pizza, apple sauce and conveniently open carton of milk landed on my new pair of jeans. I didn't bother shoving it off with my hands because i flew out of my seat in an instant. I stood up and got right in her face, she seemed taken aback at the sudden boldness i was making against her. I could tell the whole lunch room was focused on us, this was probably the most drama Forks High had ever got in history.
"You know Rosalie." I spoke in a very low, dangerous tone "You are the biggest bitch I have ever met in my entire life. I have done absolutely nothing to you in all the time I've known you. Yet you talk shit behind my back and try to embarrass me in front of the whole school. You need to get your shit together or no one will ever want to be around you ever."
A few days after that happened Rose apologized to me and confessed that she was jealous of me. Jealous how easily she was liked by her family, especially herself. What actually got her to apologize was when I called her out in front of the whole cafeteria. From that day on we had become close friends. However it wasn't until a month later, mid March, until the bond of friendship would be eternal.
It had been horrible weather, the rain was pouring in buckets and we were walking to Rose's car. Yes, We were only sophomore's, but her and Jasper were a year 'older' so they already had their licenses and cars. Anyways, Rose was already in the when Is realized that I had forgotten my history notes for the test tomorrow. Oblivious as I sometimes was, I decided to go running off into the parking lot back to the school. As soon as I took my first few strides away from Rose's car I was met with a honking horn and a huge tan truck heading straight toward me. I braced for the impact but it didn't come from the front, it came from the side. Next thing I knew I was beside Rosalie laying on the ground, missing the truck by mere feet.
My head was spinning from the fall, but I knew for certain there was no way any human would have been able to pull that off. I remember her already having her seat belt on when I told her I was going back to the school real quick, and the incident happened seconds later. After getting shipped off to the hospital I demanded answers, and reluctantly I got them. Alice, Emmett, Jasper and Rose were all by my hospital bedside telling me about who they were, what they were.
"If she starts going nuts we can just knock her out and blame the pain killers?" Emmett suggested with a broad smile. But I hadn't gone mad, I accepted the truth with surprising ease. It all had made sense now; why they didn't eat or come to school in the daylight
Now a year later we were closer than I was with anyone else, especially Rose and I. We had a very strong bond that was both sisterly, but also maternally as well. Physically Rose was my age, but in actuality she was not. She had told me she had always wanted a little girl of her own, and that she sometimes thought of me as was. For one thing I knew she was extremely protective of me, if she so much as heard anyone talking about me behind my back she would give them hell. It was actually extremely funny watching her torment some of these stuck up girls at our school like Jessica.
Any who, back to reality, Jasper was still focused on his game while he spoke in his oh so sexy southern drawl. (What? You'd think so to !)
"Well listen here darlin," He began evenly "I know my baby wouldn't say that about another man,because if she did, she knows I would go and rip his arms off. Isn't that right sweetie pie?"
I glanced at Alice.
Her face was blank.
"Alice?" I asked, sitting up immediately.
Jasper and Emmett stopped playing the game and turned around, anxious to know what she was seeing. When she came around her eye's were round and panicky , she glanced at me and then the clock on the wall. Alice gasped and her head shot to the door.
"Edward!" She breathed, just as the doorbell rang.
In a blink of an eye the Cullen's were surrounding me in defensive positions. Alice was crouched over my legs, Emmett was on the couch cushion next to me, while Jasper and Rosalie were standing behind the couch, blocking my view of the doorway. Everything was quiet and tense. Then someone opened the door, who I could only presume to be Esme. I was confused, and my heart was thudding loud in my chest, this must be another vampire, a dangerous one. Well, they were all dangerous, but this one must drink the blood of humans if they were getting this protective over me.
"Well Hello." a silky voice greeted.
"What happened to your eye's." Rosalie demanded before anyone could bother greeting him "Why aren't they red?"
Edward chuckled "Why are you being so hostile? I mean more than usual." He countered, then there was a pause "Oh..well that's interesting, very interesting actually."
Rosalie growled "Edward step back or so help me god." She hissed.
"Come now Rosalie, do you really think I'm going to hurt your little toy?" He stated innocently "Besides look at my eye's, I haven't killed a human in over two years, well for blood anyways."
I could feel myself stop breathing at his last comment, but then anger bubbled in me at the toy comment. I was surely no one's toy, who did he think he was disrespecting me like that. Surely I was afraid of him but I would not let him treat me as such, besides I had five other vampires present that would protect me if anything went wrong.
"Besides, someone who has such a strong effect on my family must be worth meeting." Edward pointed out.
Rosalie started to object but then Alice cut her off "No, let him." She said simply, which sent all eye's on her. She just looked at everyone and shrugged her shoulders "I mean look at his eye's, he seems fine to me and we haven't seen him in a long time. If he wants to meet Bella he can, after all she is right here and if he is staying he has to get use to her sometime or another."
"Alice." Rosalie spat "Are you serious? He's not coming within ten feet of her."
"It's fine Rose." I finally said, though my voice wavered slightly.
I got up and hopped over the couch, now standing beside a very tense, over protective Rosalie. I glanced over at the door and my jaw almost dropped. I mean I had thought the Cullen's so far were the most beautiful people I've ever seen, but this being in front of me was an angel. He was tall, his black suit sculpted his broad shoulders and muscular physique perfectly. His skin was the same snow white and his bronze colored hair was neatly set in place, complementing his chiseled face well. Edwards eyes were the same shade of gold as the rest of his family, however they held a real danger to them.
"Nice to meet you Edward." I began politely "My name is Bella, a good friend of your family."
I emphasized the word friend to get my point across on the whole toy insult he had made earlier at me. Edward smirked and then took a few steps closer, Rosalie made another warning growl and took a half step in front of me.
"It's a pleasure." He agreed, eye's shining, with an out stretched hand.
The door opened behind him and Carlisle stepped in, at that moment a strong gust of wind came through and blew violently around me. My blood ran cold, not because of the harsh wind, but by the look Edward was giving me at this very moment. His hand had dropped to the side and his eye's turned dark and very, very hungry. Before anything could happen Emmett and Jasper were both beside him, holding him back.
"Hunting." he murmured and in a flash the trio was gone.
Alice let out a deep unneeded breath "Well that went well." She stated positively.
Rosalie swirled around, her eye's shooting daggers at her little pixie like sister. Even I gave her a look, not as harsh as Rose's though.
"That went well?" She seethed incredulously "He could have killed her! Did you see how much her scent affected him, I'm surprised that he held back and didn't try to rip her throat out! No doubt it was probably do to his pride, didn't want to mess up his perfect two year record."
Alice gave a pout "Much better than I saw it."
I put a hand on Rosalie's shoulder before she could get riled up again "Come on, let's go to my house and get started on that English project." I offered with a warm smile "You to Alice, we can have a sleep over."
"But before that I have to sincerely apologize on behalf of my son Bella." Carlisle spoke, I looked at him, completely forgetting he had come home "I know we never really told you about him, we should have warned you."
I shrugged "It wouldn't be the first time." I smirked and eyed Rosalie which effectively brought a smile to her face "I'm just glad I didn't get eaten, I think my house would be better to hang out until Edward got use to me."
"That's if he even stays." Rosalie huffed and folded her arms across her chest.
"Now Rose he is your brother and a part of this family." Esme began gently.
"And Bella is like our sister!" Rosalie stressed "She's more apart of this family than Edward will ever be !"
I shifted awkwardly, I never liked when they argued, because they rarely ever did. I knew Edward was never mentioned to me, but why? He was obviously dangerous to humans despite the fact he didn't feed from them anymore. Edward also had no respect for human life whatsoever, like we were inferior to him. But I felt like there was something more to it, something that had happened a long time ago. Esme looked worried and upset and Carlisle put a comforting arm around her waist.
"That's enough Rosalie." He spoke gravely "If Edward wants to stay he can stay, he will bring no harm to Bella, that I can guarantee. It will take a little while getting use to her scent, but once he accomplishes that I don't see why life here cannot continue to what it was. In the time being you girls can stay at Bella's house for the weekend if that is okay with Charlie of course. I don't want to risk Bella being here if Edward comes back tonight, when he does I will have a talk with him. Understood?"
We all shook our heads like the obedient daughters we were. I walked up to Esme and Carlisle and gave them gentle hugs. I turned around and Alice was standing there with a big
grin on her face.
"The cars all packed." She stated "And we're heading to Seattle for the weekend! Don't worry I already called Charlie and he said it was A O.K!"
Me and Rose exchanged looks.
"Fuck it," I shrugged "Let's go !"
